A morgue or mortuary is a building or room (as in a hospital) used for the storage of human remains.

Morgue or mortuary cold chamber

There are two types of mortuary cold chambers:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Positive temperature +2/+4 °C which is the most usual for keeping the bodies a few days or a few weeks, but does not prevent decomposition of the corpse, which continues, albeit at a slow rate.

Negative temperature -15°C/-25 °C which is usual in forensic institutes, especially for bodies which have not yet been identified. At these temperatures, the body is completely frozen and decomposition totally halted.
